Free ice cream with sprinkles....yum

Nothing too big happened today, but I got to do a lot of animal encounters with the public.  It made me happy.  I took out 2 snakes, a tortoise, and a skink.


We are now in field trip season at the zoo...where we are surrounded by less than well behaved kids.  I really think 1 adult to 10 kids needs to be changed.  Because 7 out of 10 of those kids are misbehaving probably.  I had to ask kids not to swing on the branches in the Lorikeet area.  And apparently one child tried to kick our goose and when one of us told him not to do that the adult was mad at us for it.  If you are a volunteer adult for a field trip....do NOT reprimand the people who work at a place you came to.  If you cant control the kids....we will.  


Anyways I liked taking out Roberta the Red-footed Tortoise today....I just follow her around while she wanders around the children's area.  And redirect her away from things she doesn't need to get in to.


After work we went to get ice cream and root beer floats at the ice cream place at the zoo.  Yay for working at the zoo and getting free stuff!  It was quite yummy with chocolate sprinkles.
